How to Measure Your Dog for the Perfect Fit

How to Measure Your Dog for the Perfect Fit

At Mylo and Mas Boutique, we know how important it is to find the perfect fit for your pup’s accessories. A well-fitted harness, collar, or necklace ensures your dog is comfortable, safe, and stylish. To help you get the right size, follow this simple guide on how to measure your dog accurately before placing an order.

Why Proper Sizing Matters

An ill-fitting harness or collar can cause discomfort, restrict movement, or even pose a safety risk. A snug but comfortable fit ensures:
✅ Better control on walks
✅ No chafing or irritation
✅ Maximum comfort for your pup
✅ A stylish look that fits just right

Step-by-Step Guide to Measuring Your Dog

1️⃣ Ensure Your Dog is Standing

To get the most accurate measurements, make sure your dog is standing upright. Measuring while they’re sitting or lying down can lead to incorrect sizing.

2️⃣ Measure the Neck

Use a soft measuring tape and wrap it around the base of your dog’s neck, where their collar usually sits.

3️⃣ Measure the Chest (Most Important for Harnesses!)

The chest measurement is the most crucial when selecting a harness. To measure:
Wrap the tape measure around the widest part of your dog’s chest, just behind their front legs.

4️⃣ Use the Two-Finger Rule

For a comfortable and secure fit, always apply the two-finger rule:

  • Place two fingers between the tape measure and your dog’s skin.
  • The space should feel snug, ensuring it’s not too tight or too loose.

5️⃣ In Between Sizes? Size Up!

If your dog is in between sizes, we always recommend sizing up for a comfortable fit. You can also adjust our harness straps for a better fit.

Final Tips for a Perfect Fit

✔️ Always double-check your measurements before placing an order.
✔️ If your dog is still growing, consider going one size up for longevity.
